How Meditation Increases Imagination, Visualization
Professional athletes do it before a big game. Political candidates do it before a debate. Broadway stars do it before going on stage, and people from many walks of life, religions and cultures have practiced it – and seen amazing results from it – for centuries.
What’s their secret? Their ‘secret’ isn’t really a secret at all. It’s a common practice of using the imagination to attract the results you want, and it works every time. It’s visualizing the outcome you want from a game, a debate, a ceremony or performance. It’s focusing on a positive outcome, no matter what your past has dictated for your present. It’s imagining the object or scenario you want to have, as if it already exists.
The question isn’t “Does visualization work”, but “How can I enhance my visualizations to improve the quality of my life?”
And, the answer is meditation.
Meditation for Visualization – The Perfect Combination to Access Your Dream Life
Meditation isn’t a new concept. It’s been around for centuries, and while it’s still considered a new age practice for monks and yogis, it has proven benefits for a wide spectrum of students of life wanting to enhance their physical, mental and spiritual experiences on Earth. Whether you want to increase the quality of your sleep, eliminate depression, improve athletic performance or simply have an opportunity to become more connected and in tune with yourself, meditation for visualization is practical and an efficient for people of all religions and belief systems.
It’s also one of the best ways to attain the life of your dreams.
If Oprah Does It…
Famous athletes such as Tiger Woods, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Oprah have openly admitted to using visualization as a way to attract the good in their life, such as winning a tournament, becoming more skilled at their job and staying on their true path. With as many decisions as you have to make in your own life such as which direction to go in your personal life, who to put your trust in, and how to choose the right ‘fork in the road’, mediation for visualization can enhance the clarity to life’s questions. For many, winning or losing is dependent on the very act of meditation. Did he/she meditate before competing in a tennis match or golf tournament? If they meditated, then their chance of winning increases exponentially.
The noise of life, and especially the negative, unrelenting chatter of our minds is always on. That’s when meditation during your visualization can be so useful – it allows anyone to use their imagination as the critical player in their life, and with a clear and focused mind.
Visualization Meditation for Performance Boosting
Guided imagery is the best of both worlds. You’ll reap the benefits of going into a calm and peaceful state of mind through breathing work, while using your imagination to visualize what you want in your life. Some of the best performers in the world use meditation for boosting their performance by doing three things: they see it, they believe it, and they repeat it in their mind. Begin by taking a few minutes every day to visualize during your meditation. Do you want to wow your colleagues during tomorrow’s presentation? Here’s how!
Breathe slowly, and notice your mind quieting from the noise of your internal chatter from the day. Focus on the image of your upcoming presentation. Imagine yourself speaking clearly and articulately, while you see your boss being persuaded by your speech. Do you see it? Hold that image in your mind for a minute or two – as long as you can. Breathe in and out, enjoying that calm and serene place where you are simply within yourself.
As you focus on the quiet of your mind, again focus on the sensation of a successful presentation in which you’ve captivated your audience and realize this: There is no difference between this moment in your mind, and tomorrow’s presentation. Why? Because meditation for visualization has the power to center you, calm you, and allow you to create the confidence that’s required to win in life.
